There was a looming darkness that consumed a crimson red sky The cries of the wounded could be heard as it echoed far and wide A warrior saturated in his own blood a badge of honor this sweet savage death He held on with courageous valor until he breathed his final breath Remembering tender moments of his true love as they quickly began to fade His heart spilling his life force as it flows from beneath the blade While he succumbs to an eternal sleep a soft hand embraces his face Perhaps it is the woman he loves that even death cannot erase Above the scent of scattered bodies an unfamiliar odor fills the air Just a hint of mandrakes rises above the cries of despair A voice the warrior has never heard before comforts him with these words “No worries my love I am here for you,” but in the shadows he saw black birds In a daze his eyes caught a glimpse of the woman who had kneeled by his side An alluring dark angel with her elongated wings spread across the great divide She wore a golden helmet embedded with dark feathered wings Her curvaceous ***** shielded with a breastplate designed by Odin her king The Valkyrie planted a gentle kiss upon the warrior’s lips As his spirit departed from his body it was captured with a mighty grip They ascended towards the heavens dark skies on her powerful steed A mighty dominion of Valkyries trailed behind with relentless speed To Valhalla is the warrior’s destination another battle he must face In Ragnarok fighting alongside Odin with departed warriors who were transported to this place Perhaps it was magic the Valkyries used to enchant the blood splattered terrain? A slight of hand with a twist of fate the choosers of the slain. © 4/23/2019

Choosers of the Slain
There was a looming darkness that consumed a crimson red sky The cries of the wounded could be heard as it echoed far and wide A warrior saturated in his own blood a badge of honor this sweet savage death He held on with courageous valor until he breathed his final breath Remembering tender moments of his true love as they quickly began to fade His heart spilling his life force as it flows from beneath the blade While he succumbs to an eternal sleep a soft hand embraces his face Perhaps it is the woman he loves that even death cannot erase Above the scent of scattered bodies an unfamiliar odor fills the air Just a hint of mandrakes rises above the cries of despair A voice the warrior has never heard before comforts him with these words “No worries my love I am here for you,” but in the shadows he saw black birds In a daze his eyes caught a glimpse of the woman who had kneeled by his side An alluring dark angel with her elongated wings spread across the great divide She wore a golden helmet embedded with dark feathered wings Her curvaceous ***** shielded with a breastplate designed by Odin her king The Valkyrie planted a gentle kiss upon the warrior’s lips As his spirit departed from his body it was captured with a mighty grip They ascended towards the heavens dark skies on her powerful steed A mighty dominion of Valkyries trailed behind with relentless speed To Valhalla is the warrior’s destination another battle he must face In Ragnarok fighting alongside Odin with departed warriors who were transported to this place Perhaps it was magic the Valkyries used to enchant the blood splattered terrain? A slight of hand with a twist of fate the choosers of the slain. © 4/23/2019
